• Student & Family Handbook: Please read and familiarize yourself with the attached 2026–2027 RVS Student & Family Handbook for detailed school policies and guidelines.

• Personal Technology Devices (PTD) Policy: With input from parents, TSD’s Board of Education recently adopted an updated PTD policy to maximize student learning and minimize classroom disruptions.

• Drop-Off & Pick-Up Guidelines: Student safety is our top priority. Remember, the Hug and Go lane is for quick, right-lane passenger drop-offs only. Please review our attached Student & Family Handbook for more details.

• Getting Involved: We are aiming to increase parent volunteers this year! To volunteer on campus, you must first be cleared through our VITAL system. Contact the front office for more details. Volunteer opportunities include:

• Classroom support and running copies in the teacher workroom

• Library support (restocking shelves and checking books in/out) with Ms. Stephanie Almond

• Assisting with morning drop-off, afternoon pick-up, lunch, or recess duty

When you come to check out your student, you will notice there is an iPad outside the front office. We are slowly transitioning to digital check in/check out for students.

Please note, for security purposes, we are not able to call your student from class before your arrival when checking them out. Thank you.

Everyone should have received a letter from Nutrition Services about Free and Reduced Lunch Applications. We would appreciate everyone completing this as it helps all schools with funding. Applicants that qualify are eligible for benefits such as reduced or waived instructional fees and more. If you have any questions, please reach out to our nutrition services department.

For the 2026-2027 school year, the Thompson School District will provide access to free meals for all students through the Healthy School Meals for All program. This program ensures enrolled students are provided free breakfast and lunch, regardless of family income.

Although all students will receive access to free meals, it’s still important for households to provide their income information when requested. Gathering this information allows the Thompson School District to receive the state and federal funding we qualify for. These funds go directly to schools to help cover the cost of meals and support after-school activities and other programs for students. Plus, qualifying households may be eligible for Summer EBT benefits, receive discounted or waived school fees, etc. Providing household income information ensures you and your school receive all available financial support. ***All household income information is confidential and will not be shared without your consent.***

The attachments contain more information on the application, and instructions for applying. While the following pages may reference eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals, access to breakfast and lunch will be provided free to all students regardless of household income.

***At this time we are only providing lunch at Loveland Classical Elementary and Loveland Classical Secondary, breakfast is not provided at these locations.***

We provide meals that meet or exceed the US Department of Agriculture nutrition standards and Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This year we are also increasing our items from local farmers and producers. You can be confident your children are getting quality meals while saving your family time and money.

Use the link below to apply online, or you may pick up a paper application at any TSD school or the Support Services Center and return or mail it to 2890 North Monroe Avenue Loveland, CO 80538.
